How we handle shower tray repair in Smethwick
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
FAQs for Smethwick
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Smethwick
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we are called out for in Smethwick
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
